You may consider removing these files too, but it won't hurt to leave them there. You might notice that there are files dropped in /Library/Receipts (or maybe ~/Library/Receipts) from WiFind (or wifind) and SIMBL. At some time, you should probably also get rid of the folders Next, if you logout (or restart), WiFind will not be started. If you think you will want to turn this off later, simply move the SIMBL folder out of the InputManagers folder and into some other folder that you create (I created an InputManagersOff folder in my /Library). When you're logged back in, SIMBL should not be loaded. Again, be sure to logout or restart after making this change. To remove SIMBL, delete the SIMBL folder. There should be a SIMBL folder inside one of these. Move it somewhere else (or delete it) and logout (or restart) to disable/remove WiFind.Īlternatively/additionally, you can remove SIMBL. Inside that folder, you'll find a WiFind.bundle. ~/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins To remove WiFind only, look for the folder So, you can either remove SIMBL or remove WiFind from SIMBL so that while SIMBL loads, WiFind will not. WiFind uses this InputManager called " SIMBL" to modify the wireless menu directly (rather than putting up its own menu, like coconutWiFi). So, here's how I went about turning OFF WiFind.
The developers gave it an installer (because it's an input manager and not an application), but despite Apple's guidelines that all programs with installers must have uninstallers, they did not give it an uninstaller.
Getting rid of WiFind can be a major pain (especially if it's in the process of grinding your machine to a halt at the time).
#Install simbl free#
The free application coconutWiFi is almost identical to WiFind, but because it's an application, it's much easier to install, load, unload, and uninstall. Even when it's running well, it still takes a click or two in order to get it to display the information you need. Because the developers made it an input manager without a preference pane, it cannot easily be turned off. WiFind will slow down your computer nearly to a halt in some cases. The WiFind application from TastyApps has potential, but in the end it falls short and is not worth all of the bother.
